OPPORTUNITIES FOR USE OF THE

GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES (GSP) PROGRAM

The GSP Program Congress created the U.S. GSP program in 1974, with broad bipartisan support, to expand the choices of American industry and consumers while creating economic opportunities in developing countries. The GSP program provides preferential duty-free treatment for 3,400 products from 134 designated beneficiary developing countries (BDCs) and territories. U.S. imports under GSP in 2007 have totaled more than $32 billion, an increase of 22.6 percent over the same period a year ago. In 1996, an additional 1,400 articles from just least developed beneficiary developing countries (LDBDCs), such as East Timor, were made eligible for duty-free treatment. There are 43 LDBDCs currently eligible. The combined GSP-eligible product lists include most dutiable manufactures and semi-manufactures, and selected agricultural, fishery, and primary industrial products. Top U.S. GSP imports in YTD 2006 were petroleum, gold jewelry, aluminum alloy products, refined copper cathodes, methanol, and silver jewelry. Certain articles are prohibited by the GSP statute (19 USC Section 2463) from receiving GSP treatment, including most textiles, watches, footwear, handbags, luggage, flat goods, work gloves, and other leather apparel. Attachment A is a list of textiles and apparel articles which are eligible for GSP duty-free treatment. A GSP-eligible import must meet the following requirements: • It must be included as a GSP-eligible article (designated as A, A+ or A* in the Harmonized Tariff System of

the United States). • It must be imported into the United States directly from East Timor, or pass through another country in a

sealed container. • East Timor must be eligible for GSP treatment for that article. • The article must be the growth, product, or manufacture of East Timor. • When inputs for a product are imported from elsewhere, the sum of the cost or value of materials produced

in East Timor plus the direct costs of processing must equal at least 35 percent of the product’s appraised value when the product is sold for export into the United States. Imported materials can be counted toward the 35 percent value-added requirement only if they are “substantially transformed” into new and different constituent materials which are then used to produce or manufacture the eligible article to be exported. “Substantially transformed” means that U.S. customs would classify the constituent materials as different items.

• The exporter/importer must request duty-free treatment under GSP by placing an “A,” before the U.S. tariff line (HTSUS) number that identifies the imported article on U.S. Customs entry form 7501 (see Attachment A).

Snapshot of East Timor’s Economy East Timor’s agriculture products include coffee, rice, maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, soybeans, cabbage, mangoes, bananas and vanilla. Organically grown agricultural products have a potential for premium market niches. Bamboo and bamboo products are also of interest.

Of these products, bamboo, bamboo products, cassava, sweet potatoes, soybeans, cabbage and mangoes are GSP-eligible.1 Bananas are duty-free. Most coffee is duty-free, except for coffee substitutes using coffee, which is GSP-eligible from East Timor. Rice, maize and vanilla are duty-free or GSP-eligible, depending on the degree of the export’s processing. Detailed information on the duty rates and GSP eligibility of specific types of bamboo and bamboo products is included as Attachment D. East Timor’s non-agricultural industries include: printing, soap manufacturing, handicrafts and woven cloth. Printed materials are duty-free. Soap is duty-free or GSP-eligible, depending on the type of soap and ingredients. The GSP-eligibility of handcrafts and textiles is discussed below and in Attachment B. Potential handicraft exports and their tariff treatment are shown in Attachment C. East Timor’s primary natural resources are natural gas, which is duty free, gold, petroleum, and manganese. All of these exports are GSP-eligible. Australia and East Timor signed a treaty in January 2006 for the development of the oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea. U.S. imports of petroleum and petroleum products, that are a product of a LDBDC, such as East Timor, are eligible for duty-free treatment under the GSP program. East Timor’s principal export destinations are Australia (41.7 percent), Japan (22.8 percent) Portugal (12.4 percent) and the United States (4.1 percent). East Timor’s major exports to Australia are coffee, crustaceans, vegetable fats and oils, and pearls and gems.2 Exports from East Timor enter Australia duty and quota free. East Timor is also a beneficiary of the EU GSP program. Other exports are sandalwood, marble and vanilla. Opportunities for Increasing East Timor’s Use of GSP Duty-Free Benefits • Ensure that the entry forms of all GSP-eligible products are properly marked [with an A] so that

unnecessary duties are not paid. • Look at what similar and/or nearby economies are exporting under the GSP program and determine whether

those products could be exported from East Timor. • Identify what East Timor is exporting to other countries under their GSP programs (e.g., the European

Union and Japan, which present similar shipping challenges) to see if those products could be exported to the United States and receive U.S. duty-free treatment.

• Identify and increase exports of GSP-eligible textile and apparel products (see Attachment A). • Enter into a certified textile handicraft arrangement with the United States so that certain dutiable carpets,

wall-hangings, tapestries and pillow covers can enter duty-free and certain fabrics can received reduced tariff treatment (see Attachment A).

U.S. Imports from East Timor The total value of U.S. imports in 2006 was $11,996; YTD 2007 (January through August), it is $312,749. No goods of East Timor-origin were imported into the United States in 2006 or 2007 YTD (January through August) that would have been eligible for GSP duty-free treatment. U.S. goods returned without having been advanced in value or improved in condition while abroad, imported under HTS 9801.00.10 and entered duty free, have accounted for most U.S. imports from East Timor so far this year ($309,812), with another $2,937 in HTS 9999.50.00 “estimated low-value transactions”. The following chart is drawn from the U.S. International Trade Commission database. Most coffees (including the type imported in 2003) are free of duty. The exception is coffee substitutes containing coffee, which are

GSP Use by Other Countries in the Region The Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia currently export products to the United States that enter duty-free under the GSP program. East Timor may currently produce these same products, or be able to produce them in the future in order to better utilize the GSP program. In addition, a number of U.S. imports from these countries were GSP-eligible but GSP was not claimed. These products include: • Various classifications of tunas and skipjack; • Frozen fish fillets – various types; and • Various types of copra (coconut) oil 1.

4. Top EU and Japan Imports from East Timor and Potential U.S. GSP Treatment The table below identifies selected products at the 4-digit level where EU25 or Japanese imports from East Timor exceeded $10,000, on average, over 2003 to 2005. The large majority of those products being imported from East Timor are either GSP/GSP+ eligible or duty-free into the United States, with the notable exception of footwear (HS 6402). However, East Timor could benefit from a “GSP-only” preference margin on certain categories of the following items:

* Coffee (HS 0901) * Miscellaneous Machines (HS 8479) * Rubber New Pneumatic Tires (HS 4011) * Certain Electric Transformers (HS 8504) * Certain Machine Tools (HS 8462 and 8464) * Photocopy Apparatus (HS 9009) * Office Machine Parts (HS 8473) * Oscilloscopes & Spectrum Analyzers
